Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Blueberry Puree
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry puree: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the blueberries until they soften and release their juices, about 3-5 minutes. Mash them with a spoon or blend for a smoother texture and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Allow the puree to cool.
- Mix the yogurt: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Swirl in the blueberry puree: Gently fold the cooled blueberry puree into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect without fully mixing to keep the swirls visible.
- Scoop the yogurt bites: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls (1 to 2 tablespoons each) of the yogurt mixture onto the tray.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and freeze the yogurt bites for at least 2 to 3 hours until firm.
- Serve: Once frozen, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with any yogurt of your choice, including dairy-free options.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount or type of sweetener included according to taste.
- For a smoother blueberry puree, blend berries thoroughly before straining.
- These bites are convenient to store and make a healthy snack option for kids and adults alike.
- Ensure the bites are fully frozen before serving to maintain shape and texture.
